Sushi Rolls come in an intriguing set comprising two distinct varieties, each promising a unique taste experience. This selection combines the softness of sushi rice, the succulent taste of fresh salmon, and the rich, creamy texture of cream cheese, all encased in crisp nori seaweed. The contrasting textures and flavors are further enhanced by the smoothness of avocado, the crunch of cucumber, and the distinctive pop of sesame seeds. A light drizzle of eel or teriyaki sauce adds a sweet yet tangy zest, while the black sesame seeds or tobiko (fish roe) introduce an aesthetic appeal alongside a burst of flavor. The set is perfectly complemented by pickled ginger and a hint of wasabi on the side, rounding off an exquisite gastronomic adventure.

Preparing the Sushi Rice

Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once done, season it with sushi vinegar (or a mix of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt) to give it that distinct sushi rice flavor and sticky texture, ensuring it's spreadably perfect for rolls.

Assembling the Rolls

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat, then evenly spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small margin at the top empty to seal the roll. Place slices of salmon, avocado, cucumber, and a strip of cream cheese near the bottom of the rice-covered nori. Gently roll the sushi, using the mat to keep the roll tight without squishing the fillings. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls for that extra texture.

Finishing Touches

Slice the rolls into 6-8 pieces, depending on your preferred size. Drizzle lightly with eel or teriyaki sauce and garnish with black sesame seeds or tobiko for an elegant finish. Serve with a side of pickled ginger and a small dab of wasabi.
